Two New Krauss Maffei Machines Brought in to Help with High Production Demand
It’s an exciting time at TCB-Arrow. High demand for our products has meant that we’ve had to expand our production capacity even further. Earlier this year we mentioned that we’d purchased three brand new Krauss Maffei machines to help take us through 2018 - now we’ve purchased two more.
The machines in question are an 80 tonne and 50 tonne Krauss Maffei moulding machine, both of which were brought in to help with the increased demand. TCB-Arrow is currently having to run 24 hours a day, 6 days a week to keep up - it’s been busy! The new Krauss Maffei machines will continue to enable us to be even more efficient. The machines feature Servo driven hydraulic pumps, meaning we’ll continue to save energy over the machines we previously used. This means the machines give us a commercial advantage, this of course is passed on to our Customers.
The machines are incredibly accurate. Injection volumes and speeds are controlled with such precision that we can achieve injection times between shots that are consistent to within 0.01 seconds. The variable settings can then be saved in the machine SSDs or on USB sticks and transferred between machines, for maximum efficiency and reducing setup time. For more on how our new Krauss Maffei machines will enable TCB-Arrow to consistently deliver on the high demand expected of our production service, make sure to read our previous blog.
